The struggle between mankind and nature, which is famous for its generosity, has been a clash and conflict that has lasted for centuries.
Nature has been the constant giver, while mankind has been the constant taker.
Nature maintained its dignity even while giving mankind more than it needed.
It did not even raise its voice as much as it could against the interventions into its fault lines, which are its windpipes.
Mankind, on the other hand, neither asked where the water for this mill came from nor did it care.
It acted like a looter, an invader.
Since prehistoric times, it has reached this day by using the resources of generous nature.
It made its first organized weapons by sharpening the edge of a broken stone and attaching it to the end of a stick.
It began hunting wild animals not with its hands, but with this weapon, and reduced the number of workplace accidents occurring during the struggle of the hunt.
By discovering the texture of basalt stone with its many serrations, it used it as a grater, mortar, and pestle.
It used it both as sandpaper in its workshop and by processing the grains in its field, it changed its way of nutrition.
Thus, it transitioned to a production economy.
Almost since its existence, it has made knives, daggers, and arrows by chipping siliceous flint.
It processed this material and made jewelry for women's adornment.
It succeeded in using the hardness and sharpness of the stone to its advantage.
It recreated and found fire by rubbing flint stones against each other.
It used an extrusive natural igneous rock like obsidian.
It enriched the grain table it processed with these materials.
Its nutrition changed.
The brain development that came with the transition to eating meat (kebab) was a serious turning point.
The prefrontal cortex, that is, the frontal lobe of the brain, strengthened and laid the foundation for primitive basic sciences.
Thus, it also paved the way for metallurgy.
However, mankind misunderstood this generosity of nature.
By sticking its hand into the intimate places of nature, it set its sights on the treasures and vital units in its bosom as mines. It found copper ore, mixed it with tin, and moved on to steel.
Then, it laid the foundations of industry and urban society.
Thus, the need for raw materials increased even more.
It obtained the excessive raw material needs that emerged especially after the industrial revolutions by diving headlong into the bosom of nature with heavy construction machinery and explosives.
It turned nature into a victim in a dentist's chair, like someone whose healthy molar is accidentally drilled or milled.
Mankind, which could not manage to collect the water raining from the sky, opened water wells into the lungs of nature meters deep.
It leveled mountains for cobalt, extracted sand from streams, and devastated forests.
While doing these, it did not think that nature was a living organism.
It ignored that it was in pain.
It thought that nature's generosity was limitless, or that was what suited its interests.
Whoever thought this way, nature gave them a hard time.
It slapped those who used nature's blessings recklessly, more than necessary or needed.
Of course, nature is not without weapons against such ruthless occupation.
Fukushima is the most important piece of evidence for what I have written.
It leveled the Japanese, who thought they had taken all precautions against earthquakes, in seconds.
When nature realized that it could not shake off the loads added to its back by being designed with advanced engineering principles, it made its move from the sea with a tsunami.
It attacked the Japanese nuclear facility with water to save itself.
Nature exceeded the five-meter-high barrier designed by the Japanese to protect their facility from a tsunami with the six-meter tsunami wave it produced.
Thus, the diesel engines inside the facility got wet and were disabled.
The diesel engine system, which lost its cooling capability due to the power outage, caused the plant to explode and fifteen thousand Japanese to die in one night.
Nature never forgives the hostility shown to it.
Try it and see.
